- if said first URL is not part of said first set of URLs, obtaining an acknowledgment from said first user that said first user is requesting to access said first webpage.
An article of manufacture comprising a program storage medium having computer readable code embodied therein, said computer readable code being configured to control access by a plurality of users to websites, comprising:
- computer readable code for receiving a first request that includes a first uniform resource locator (URL) from a first user of said plurality of users, said first URL identifying a first webpage;
- computer readable code for ascertaining whether said first URL is part of a first set of URLs, said first set of URLs being associated with said first user;
- computer readable code for obtaining, if said first URL is not part of said first set of URLs, an acknowledgment from said first user that said first user is requesting to access said first webpage.
